i used to be an accountant. i can tell you raising taxes on the wealthy will do nothing unless we can eliminate offshore accounts. if we could just do that, i think a sequester would almost be unnecessary. it would close the existing loopholes. i do not know what to say. congress, having them lose 20 percent of their pay would do nothing. they would not even notice a 20 percent cut. guest: 2 points. one is our spending cuts like this necessary and a good bit? the second is what about taxes? it is interesting because what carol is proposing a cutting loopholes and deductions is on the table when is the poster was implemented in that i know the obama administration was more partial to a proposal where we would see across-the-board cuts in deductions, which would disproportionately hit the wealthy. that did not a ticket -- that did not get agreed to for fairly obvious reasons. house republicans do not like that as much as revenue cuts. even if you believe you need $110 billion in cuts this year to the federal budge

tell us about that. guest: this is something we always hear about when there's a source of any government shut down. people remember back in 1995 when the national parks were being shuttered. now, of course, a difference between this and a government shut down there's not the flexibility. it's a line. host: how soon will we see things kick in? you mentioned the inspection of the plants which could impact meat. guest: when you look at a sequester, at this point, if you looking at the administration, you have every incentive to make things sound as all of they will be. once the sequester hits, the incentives change. you have incentives to mitigate some things. you don't want awful things to happen. when you're looking at the meat inspection plant, what you're seeing around actual layoffs. they are layoff notices. there's a lot of complexity with labor contracts. when you see the furloughs taking shape, we don't know how that will happen. host: what's the number one republican pushback some of those warning
